Don Quixote Posted December 12, 2016 #1 Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Looking for experiences with hide glue for deck planking? I've been using CA glue to lay the deck planks but you get one chance, and one chance only. This looks like it may provide a little time to move things around?

druxey Posted December 13, 2016 #2 Posted December 13, 2016 Why would you not use PVA (white) glue? mtaylor, russ and Canute 3 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
Worldway Posted December 13, 2016 #3 Posted December 13, 2016 I'm finding that carpenters glue works much better than CA glue. I don't have experience with other glues but the glue I'm using seems to be superior to what I've tried. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Derek If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders.

mtaylor Posted December 15, 2016 #5 Posted December 15, 2016 Brian, Carpenter's glue is usually the PVA that's yellow in the bottle. Hide glue is brown flakes and needs the double boiler setup like you described.

allanyed Posted December 16, 2016 #6 Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Regarding how well hide glue works, I have hide glue residue on my work bench which has been there since about the 1920's. It ain't coming off unless I chisel it and I have no plans to do so. This bench belonged to my grandfather who was a life long cabinet maker and the bench has stayed in the family. He used hide glue for many many years. But, he switched to carpenters glue, unless he was doing restorations of antiques that originally were built with hide glue. He taught me a lot and swore that the carpenters glue was as good or better and soooooo much easier.
